Fees & reimbursement

Individual psychotherapy and counselling

€ 90.00

Base rate per session

  • The supplementary insurance rate applies when your insurer covers at least 50%.
  • Some insurers, including JSIS, only reimburse psychotherapy prescribed by a psychiatrist. A one-time psychiatric assessment can be requested here. Check in advance what your insurer requires, such as prior approval: the reimbursement decision is ultimately theirs.
  • Our centre offers a very limited number of consultations under the ELP convention (€ 11 per session, or € 4 with increased reimbursement status). They give access to higher reimbursement for mild to moderate difficulties or in case of financial vulnerability.
  • The one-time file fee covers the management of your electronic medical record and, if you wish, electronic communication with your GP.
  • Any supplements, for example for couple or family therapy or EMDR, are listed on each clinician’s page.

  • We apply the third-party payment system: you do not need to send a certificate to your health insurance fund and only pay the co-payment at the end of each consultation.
  • Do you have supplementary insurance (JSIS, DKV, …)? Ask for a certificate of care at the end of your appointment to claim reimbursement from your insurer afterwards.
  • With increased reimbursement status, no fee supplements apply; the rates are listed on the NIHDI website.
  • A first prescription for psychotherapy always requires a standard intake. For later prescriptions, please book an appointment of at least 15 minutes.

Reimbursement and access

Unlike inpatient psychiatric care, outpatient treatment in Belgium is only partly reimbursed. Most health insurance funds and some supplementary insurers (e.g. DKV, JSIS) do reimburse part of a limited number of sessions with a psychologist. Conditions vary from scheme to scheme; your fund or insurer can tell you the exact amounts and conditions.

Your appointment is reserved exclusively for you. If you cannot attend, please let us know at least 48 hours (two full working days) in advance through the channels on the contact page, so we can offer your slot to someone who is waiting for care. For a later cancellation or a missed appointment, we charge a flat fee. This is a no-show fee: since no consultation took place, we cannot issue a certificate and your health insurance fund will not reimburse it. You can receive a receipt.

A missed appointment often carries meaning within the treatment, so feel free to discuss any dispute or misunderstanding during a consultation. If you do not attend a first appointment or cancel it late, we may not offer a new one. During ongoing treatment, care may end after two missed or late-cancelled appointments; we then discuss alternatives and actively refer you if you need urgent care.

Psychotherapy and counselling

For a late cancellation or a missed appointment, the full consultation fee is due. For consultations under the ELP convention, this amount is set at € 40.00.

Psychiatric consultations

A fee of € 60.00 is due, or the co-payment for consultations of 15 minutes or less, in accordance with Article 77 of the Code of Medical Ethics.

Force majeure

In case of illness, an accident or another event beyond your control, nothing is due. Please let us know within seven days with a medical certificate or equivalent proof. If you cannot come in person, a video or phone appointment is always possible.

We understand that cost can be a barrier. Because outpatient care is only partly reimbursed, you often pay a significant share yourself.

The fee covers the consultation as well as the expertise built over an average of 9 to 12 years of training, ongoing professional development, administration and consultation with other healthcare providers, within a professional framework. This is how we work together towards expert care and lasting improvement.

If you feel that JSIS reimbursement for mental health care is insufficient, we strongly encourage you to report this to the European Ombudsman.

Is cost a barrier? Feel free to discuss it with your clinician; together we will look at the alternatives:
